To Bellevue Washington for family and a new Magnette adventure

As you should know, I do a lot of work on MG sprotscars and I also have a ZB Magnette saloon.  Since we got home in March I have been working on an MGA coupe that I acquired through EBay curiosity.  This weekend we drove to visit Laura and the Horne's in their new location, Bellevue.  They are moving this week to a house in Duvall, WA and we were able to see the new house and do a bit of work there, at least mom helped paint.

The drive to Seattle area on the interstate highways goes very quickly, more interesting so far then a similar length drive to Springville.

Here are some house pictures:

The new Magnette has a beautiful story, a romance, and I will be documenting the restoration process in a separate blog.  The MGA I am working on has no story, is butt ugly, but I am growing to like it, and will start a blog for it too.
